How Do Sequential Letters Affect Password Security Strength

  • 2

I was wondering about password construction there seems to be something about not using any sequence of three letters or numbers in a password like abc or 123.

I can see not using a sequence as the password but what problem can there be using a sequence in a password like:

xYz123!!!

Is that insecure because of the sequences?

    1. If someone was trying to guess your password, the last three letters of the alphabet and the first three numbers would increase their chances a lot.
